Without waiting for a response, Natalie strode out.

As he watched her leave, Sebastian frowned. He felt very depressed.

Sighing heavily, he quickly picked up his jacket and rushed out to follow her.

It was late June now, and it was extremely hot in the afternoon. As he followed Natalie from a distance, Sebastian stared at her long hair fluttering in the wind.

Where on earth was she headed? Sebastian had no clue. Judging from the woman’s hurt tone just know, he could tell that there was more to the story. Moreover, he would’ve been able to tell if she was lying.

Sebastian quickened his pace and followed the woman closely. As they walked, he couldn’t help but feel bad. Did he wrongfully accuse Natalie?

After passing two streets and a traffic light, Natalie finally veered off the sidewalk and entered a second-hand shop.

Sebastian followed her in silently.

“I want to see your shop manager!” Natalie slapped the ring hard on the counter. Her beautiful face was ice cold and sullen. When she wasn’t smiling, she always looked so aloof and unapproachable.

“Miss, what brings you here so soon? Did you forget anything?” The shop manager glanced up from a conversation with a customer. When she saw Natalie’s glowering face, she quickly walked over with a smile.

Crossing her arms over her chest, Natalie said coldly, “I did leave something here. Give me my ring back.”

“Are you joking, miss? Isn’t the ring right on your finger?” The smile on the shop manager’s face didn’t even falter, which made her look even more hypocritical.

“You lied to my face and replaced my ring, yet you still have the audacity to deny it?” Natalie was furious. It looked like she was going to pounce on the shop manager the next second.

The shop manager’s smiling face stiffened slightly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you trying to blackmail us with a fake ring? This isn’t the first time someone’s tried to play tricks on our honest store.”

“Why don’t we check the surveillance camera footage?
